Just a quick update, Joel has everything in (well kind of - amps and wires everywhere), and I just have to make a modification to one of the crossovers. Hopefully we will have a pic or two of the inside this weekend.

Here are some shots of the sub box and amps. Everything is mounted rough until Joel decides what he wants to do.

Amps:

Joel do some last minute adjustments with the crossover for the Mids and tweeters:

Looks real good. Why are the ports angled? Is it purely cosmetic?

Looks nice. I want to do this exact same thing in my truck.

Yeah, the ports are like that more for show than anything. It was something I wanted to try. Now that winter is hard upon us, we will have to wait until spring before the whole thing gets finished. We already discussed redoing the box so it fits a bit better back there.

The subs are tuned to 37Hz - hardly SPL competition levels. But Joel wants to see some numbers anyway. This might happen next weekend.

wait so with the ports cut like that did u cut them at the same angle inside the box? because if u didn't wouldn't cutting them like that at an angle change the tuning freq?
